Minimum and Maximum Prices

In order to reprice, it's important to set your Minimum and Maximum Prices. These function as floor and ceiling prices, ensuring you always make a profit and price at a level where buyers will actually make the purchase. In this article, we'll take a look at the various ways you can set your Min Max Prices within Repricer.

What are Min Max Prices?

Your minimum Price should be the lowest price you are willing to sell your product at when you take into account your various costs. Your Maximum Price should be a realistic price for your product but high enough to secure a good profit.

The next important thing to note is that your Minimum and Maximum Prices are made up of both your product's sale price and shipping. From the perspective of your Minimum and Maximum Prices, if your product is selling at $10 + $2, this is $12, not $10.

Important Note: You should always consider the worth of your product when assigning Maximum Prices. If you wouldn't buy a product at it's Max Price, then it's too high! It's better to make a smaller profit and actually get it, vs pricing high and never selling your product.

Another important note about Minimum and Maximum Prices is that within your Amazon seller account you can also set Minimum and Maximum's. However, Repricer will not update your Amazon Minimum and Maximum Prices as these are your final safety net. If you set these Minimum and Maximum Prices on Amazon you will need to ensure that either they are kept up to date with changes within Repricer or you set them with latitude for changes to avoid potential pricing errors on Amazon.

Repricer calculates your Min Max Prices

If you don't want to set your Min Max prices manually but would prefer to do it automatically, Repricer also offers several other methods you can use. To get started, open one of your Repricing Rules. You'll find the Min / Max Product Prices section at the top. Manually Assign is the method we've been discussing throughout this article so far, where you set the Min Max Prices yourself. Let's take a look at the methods available.

Buy Box Threshold

Repricer.com knows the highest price you can go to while remaining competitive for the Buy Box. Use this rule setting to eliminate the guesswork of setting a Maximum Price and let Buy Box Eligibility guide it. Amazon does not supply a Buy Box Threshold for all products, so you can set a fallback Max Price based on your product's Minimum Price.

Net Margin (Expert Plan Feature)

Repricer will automatically download your product fees from Amazon. If you upload your product costs and supply a desired margin, Repricer will be able to calculate a Min Max Price for you and ensure a profit on every sale. Learn more about Net Margin and how to set it up here.

Item Cost Price (Expert Plan Feature)

If you would prefer to set your Min Max Prices purely based on your costs, Item Cost Price is the option for you. You increase your Item Cost by a value and/or a percentage.

Pro Tip: You can set a negative number as well, by entering -10%, this would set a Minimum Price 10% below your item cost price.

RRP/ MAP Pricing (Expert Plan Feature)

The RRP option will let you set your Min Max Prices based on the RRP value that you set for your product within Repricer.

Pro Tip: Common use case here is for electronic goods where the manufacturer has a specific range in which the product must be sold for. This can be used to ensure that repricer stays within this range.

Auto-assigning Min and Max prices

Within your Repricer account, you will be able to save time and set up Auto-Assign Prices and Rules to automatically apply Min Max prices, and also a Repricing rule to any new listings as they are imported into Repricer.
